Rear leafs are blown away

kw7856 · 06-29-2009, 12:49 PM

Drivers side rear leaf spring is flat...severe body lean...and no I ain't that fat.

Will be ordering OEM Springs unless someone convinces me otherwise.

My questions are...Level of difficulty for install? About how long? Any special tools required?

Thanks

Hardest part is getting the old ones off. Do one side at a time. Put the frame on stands and save the floor jack for the rear end.

Ha, ha...that's what I have a son-in-law for.

Thanks for the info...especially the "one at a time" advise.

Go ahead and get the HD springs if you are replacing them.

I bought the HD kit from BU and installed them in an hour or so. Good advice from Gorno on the jack stand/floor jack issue

. Wish he had posted that before I learned the hard way. I also learded that when you use an air ratchet, have a good grip on it when you pull the trigger
